When it comes to staying fit, there’s no stopping Milind Soman. The model-actor, 59, makes sure to move his body every day and shared a video on Monday nailing pull-ups in the middle of a rainy day.
Shot by his wife, Ankita Konwar, the fitness enthusiast was seen gripping a horizontal bar and using his upper body strength to hang and then pull himself up gradually, reaching a point where his chin was above the bar.
He started with a full dead hang, progressing to a mid pull-up, and gradually lifting his chest toward the bar. There are several benefits to doing this workout. It relies on bodyweight and is excellent for increasing strength, grip, posture, and heart health.

Fans admired the actor not only for his fitness but also for his dedication. One user wrote, “Stability! I want to stay this fit till I die, working every day for it.” Another commented, “Always an inspiration… a bow to Milind sir.” A fan also called him “inspiring.”
Milind recently returned from his trip to England, where he attended the Men’s Singles final at Wimbledon. He shared his experience on Instagram, writing, “Fun week in England with @ankita_earthy… ABBA concert, Seven Sisters hike, lots of great food and of course, the most exciting Wimbledon Men’s Singles final on Centre Court!”
He added, “Been watching Wimbledon right from the earliest days of TV in the 1970s, with players like Björn Borg and John McEnroe, Boris Becker, Martina Navratilova… so actually being here live was really like being a part of something historic—especially with Jannik Sinner being the first Italian to ever win in almost 150 years. I’ve been to world-level sporting events before, but the energy and the excitement of Centre Court at Wimbledon really is something to be experienced.”
